In various Pakistani cities, the populace has shown support for the decrease in fuel costs, giving credit to the Pakistan Army for its involvement in this endeavor. The public's sentiment demonstrates gratitude for the army's actions in mitigating inflation and striving to enhance the nation's economic stability.
In Rawalpindi, citizens celebrated the reduction in fuel prices and praised the efforts of the army chief in fostering economic stability. They particularly commended the measures taken to address issues related to Afghan transit and combat smuggling, which are seen as key factors contributing to the recent price drop.
One resident commented, "God willing, petrol prices will continue to decrease, and this might also lead to a reduction in inflation, as high petrol prices are causing increased prices in other areas." The overall mood in Rawalpindi was optimistic about further price reductions.
A substantial decrease in gold prices was reported in Pakistan.
In Kurram, residents acknowledged the military's role in lowering the costs of essential goods, including fuel, attributing the decline in the value of the dollar and gold to effective crackdowns on black markets, resulting in reduced petrol prices.
Residents of Quetta expressed hope that ongoing measures like these would not only lead to further petrol price reductions but also contribute to an overall decrease in inflation. They recognized the significance of economic stability in enhancing the quality of life for the general public.
